Come to another world and become a lord

In the bedroom, William looked at the soldier who was reporting in front of him with dissatisfaction, and then started to curse:

"You said she ran away? You actually let her run away? You are a bunch of rubbish!"

Then he walked to the body of Knight Lauren, kicked it twice angrily, and continued to shout hysterically:

"What should we do now? What should we do now? Yes, go and tell Lord Morton to send reinforcements as soon as possible! Just say that Selena ran away... She may have gone to find Carl... No, we can't say that. If Lord Morton knows that I can't even catch Selena, he will kill me. Yes, just say that Carl knows about this and he plans to bring troops to rescue Selena. I urgently need reinforcements. Just say that!"

Several soldiers just watched William nervously pace back and forth in the bedroom, talking to himself. Finally, the leading captain couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said to him:

"Sir, in my opinion, we need to prioritize stabilizing the situation in the castle, especially the knights in the valley."

After hearing the captain's words, William clapped his hands as if waking up from a dream and said:

"Yes, you are right, Selena has escaped! If my uncle and his old knights knew the whole story, they would definitely hang me! We must control them all before they can react!"

"That's right." The team leader nodded in agreement.

William also nodded, then pointed at him and said:

"Then you should immediately send someone to notify every knight in the territory, and ask them to gather at Greyburg in the name of my uncle. We have something important to discuss!"

A few hours later, we arrived at Grey Castle. After a night of hard work, the sky was slightly brighter, and a patch of white rose in the sky. With the neighing of horses, knights had arrived one after another. They were dressed in noble and solemn courtiers' uniforms, with exquisite swords on their waists that were more decorative than practical, and gathered at a small training ground in front of the castle.

William stood at the window on the second floor and looked down secretly. Not all the knights in the territory had arrived. Excluding the dead Lauren, there were a total of 9 people, and 2 people were still not here. But this was not a big deal. He looked for a while, then pulled down the curtains and said to the guards beside him:

"Almost, let them in~"

The gate of Greyburg's main castle slowly opened, and before the knights entered, there was another small friction at the door:

A young and energetic knight shouted at the guards in great dissatisfaction:

"Put away your weapons? Why? My Lord has never asked for this before."

"We are just following orders, please forgive us." The guard said respectfully and without emotion.

"For so many years, swords have been worn in all negotiations, and these are just decorative swords. Why did the rule suddenly change?" The older knight immediately raised his doubts. For so many years, wearing swords in the palace has been a tradition in Greyburg, and the reason for doing so is simply the local knight tradition. In fact, people usually only carry decorative swords instead of real weapons, which are more of a symbol.

"If you have any dissatisfaction with these, you can tell Lord Henry later, but now we can only follow his orders." The guard continued to speak without emotion.

After a period of tug-of-war, the knights finally compromised. Although they had doubts, that was all. After all, this was Greyburg, and the one who summoned them was their most beloved lord, Baron Henry. This old knight had ruled this land for more than 30 years, and the entire Greven Valley had developed extremely smoothly in the past 30 years. What could go wrong now?

In the end, everyone just shook their heads helplessly, took off their swords reluctantly, handed them to the guards, and entered the lobby with resentment.

But when they entered the lobby, their doubts and uneasiness suddenly intensified. The hall was dark and cold, with fully armed soldiers standing on both sides. However, the faces of those soldiers were so unfamiliar, and they had never seen them before. They were not the local guards of Greyburg at all!

Now, none of the soldiers guarding the border are local guards from Grey Castle, and all of them have been replaced by people from Fengzhu Castle.

Henry was nowhere to be seen on the lord's seat in front of him, but William was seen walking slowly step by step. He walked down the stairs on the second floor, stopped after reaching the lord's seat, glanced at the seat, and then sat down on it! This scene angered almost all the knights.

"William, what are you doing?" someone shouted.

"That's not where you should sit!" someone else shouted.

"Where is Lord Henry?" someone asked.

William looked at the group of people impatiently, and then suddenly shouted:

"Shut up, everyone!"

As he shouted, two rows of soldiers suddenly took a step forward. This scene shocked almost all the knights present, and soon they realized the seriousness of the matter, stopped making noise, and looked at William in unison.

But William shouted at them in a very blunt tone:

"Our beloved lord, who is also our uncle, has been murdered!"

"What?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what they heard.

But William continued:

"The one who killed him was his own daughter Selena! And her fiancé, Carl from Rickburg!"

"How is this possible?" someone questioned.

"This pair of bastards committed such a heinous act just to get the Graven Valley!" William said.

Then he shook his head again, tried to squeeze out a few tears, and then shouted at the top of his lungs:

"In order to avenge my uncle and for the future of Greven Valley, I hereby declare that I will inherit my uncle's last wish, officially become the new Baron of Greven Valley, and kill my enemies Selena and Carl with my own hands!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an older knight shouted:

"That's nonsense. I have followed Lord Henry for so long, and I have watched Selena grow up since she was a child. I know exactly what kind of child she is. She would never do something like patricide!"

"that is!"

The other knights immediately responded.

Then the older knight spoke again:

"What's more, regardless of whether this is true or not, the first in line to the title is still Miss Selena, not you, William! Even if what you said is true, it will require a unanimous decision from all of us and the approval of the church to confirm that the crime is true before we can deprive her of her inheritance rights. Before that, you are not qualified to sit in this position!"

William looked at the knight who was causing trouble, a sinister look on his face again, and then he said quietly:

"You have been with your uncle for so long and you are so old now, why don't you give your position to the younger ones~"

The knight looked at William in surprise. He was about to ask what the other party meant when he felt a sharp pain. His calf had been pierced from behind by a spear. A soldier attacked William as he was speaking. At the moment when he knelt on the ground in pain, another soldier came up and stabbed him in the throat again.

Seeing a knight being killed so openly, the rest of the people were all angry and started cursing William one by one.

"William, you bastard, how dare you?"

However, they were soon surrounded by soldiers armed with spears, and faced with the enemy's aggressive pressure, they were all unarmed.

When William wanted to kill again, the captain beside him suddenly whispered to him:

"These people are the backbone of the valley. Not only do they have their own fiefdoms, but they also have a very high reputation among the people. If we kill them all, I'm afraid there will be problems."

William sighed in dissatisfaction, but still compromised. Finally, he shouted to the guard in a disappointed tone:

"Lock all the remaining people in the dungeon!"
